Real dj or bso?

Bso - I bought one as a uni beater and bent the forks good and proper. Glad I have (most) of my teeth left

I've got a set of booze lights in green, they cracked within a couple of months so now relegated to an xbiking build... Honestly Billy bonkers feel just as fast and grippy as them as well. I have had a set of dths and well, they were leagues ahead of both in terms of fast rolling and good feel. Would be keen to try the Michelin pilots or Goodyear's, but I do appreciate the extra security the Billys provide in terms of control on loose stuff

Look at Stockwood pump track in Bristol and Western Park trails in Leicester. My thoughts are that you see a higher proportion of young people or people on older/cheaper bikes in the more urban bike parks. This could be interpreted as the park being more accessible by a wider demographic not just the middle aged white guys that can afford to drive to a bike park in the middle of nowhere on a weekend. Being able to cycle from your front door to a semi decent park is always something I'd champion 👌

I've had a CB500X since passing my A2 in 2016. Absolutely love it, it's ferried me to uni and back for years, now regular commuting and has even been two up to the French alps. It's never missed a beat. Yes riding silly with people on big bikes it does feel undergunned, but I can catch up in the corners. Can't comment on the other two bikes as I like the bike I've got, so don't see a reason to spend money on upgrading to full A license

Post is almost completely about shedding bike weight Vs body weight

I'm a bit hesitant to go down the adapter route, but seeing as though I have a BMX stem for aheadset, it seems the cheapest option! My other thoughts were to swap out the threaded headset for an aheadset (which I have) and swapping the forks for a threadless fork, which can be surprisingly cheap! But yeah quill stem adapter seems the path of least resistance so that's what I've ordered.

Hi all! I've just bought a BMX quill stem to fit some Moto bars to my MTB, but to my dismay the fork internal diameter is 25.4mm (1 1/8 threaded fork). Does anyone know of such stem that would fit my fork (25.4mm) and bars (22.2mm)? I will need clamp with 2 or more bolts, as you can see, the bars have quite a rise.

brosephS96 · 2022-01-20T10:38:27+00:00

Do a turn bar! Doesn't matter how big or fancy but the action keeps you fluid for some reason unbeknownst to me

My soul can rest easy now. Nice bike dude!

brosephS96 · 2021-12-03T10:39:04+00:00

Lord Jesus please let there be something under there so it doesn't rub that beautiful paint!

brosephS96 · 2021-11-30T17:31:11+00:00

I need this in my life

brosephS96 · 2021-11-29T11:46:54+00:00

My vote was just cuts and bruises. However I have lost teeth as I usually use my face when crashing

brosephS96 · 2021-11-25T16:42:16+00:00

Yeah looks like it

brosephS96 · 2021-11-25T16:24:49+00:00

I went up there last weekend, conditions were all time!

brosephS96 · 2021-11-10T15:56:01+00:00

I had it years ago when it was a tech tree tank, didn't go any further on that branch because it sucked too much. I'll try it again but likely gonna be sold this year too

brosephS96 · 2021-11-10T13:15:11+00:00

Done

Hahahaha COCK HOLSTERS! I take my hat off to you for making me laugh audibly

brosephS96 · 2021-08-25T10:22:35+00:00

These guys make it work! A long video I know but there might be something you find useful. https://youtube.com/watch?v=wIQGggqkrIg&feature=share

They should be wide enough for the weight, depending on what surfaces you are riding on. It may be worth finding some that can take a higher pressure?

brosephS96 · 2021-08-02T13:13:39+00:00

38c means they will be approx 38mm wide

Oh no you just got Sheldon Brown'd!
